Respuesta :

Strong nationalist sentiment and Basque terrorist groups were created in the Basque region.

Explanation:

The Basque people are a group of people that lives in the northern part of Spain and southwestern part of France. It is a very intriguing group of people, as their DNA is not close to the other people of Europe, but more with the Barbers of Northern Africa, and the old Britons. The language too is unique, not having close relations with any other language. The Basque people though don't have their own country, but instead live in Spain and France.

  • The Spanish government has been very repressive toward the Basque people, trying to assimilate them, prevent them from using their language and letter.
  • As a result, the strong Basque nationalism became even stronger, so the people were more united than ever against Spain, and the separationist movement and ideals grew even more.
  • On top of that, a strong terrorist organization arose, called ETA, which was responsible for numerous attacks over Spanish citizens and lot of fatalities in the process.
  • One way or another, the Spanish government was forced to back off, so it softened its policies.
